## Story
*UPDATE: New Financial Projection Updates Included!-THE PITCH DECK BELOW INCLUDES UPDATED FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS AS OF 11/1/25AND CAN BE SEEN IN FULL IN OUR UPDATES TAB.-ALL DESIGN PITCHES WERE APPROVED AS OF 4/9/25 AND CAN BE SEEN IN FULL IN OUR UPDATES TAB.Take a second to imagine walking in the woods and finding a witch's cottage. You enter and she has plants hanging from the ceiling and the smell of fresh baked treats floating in the air. She gives you a drink of choice- whether it is a cup of tea with magical intention or a stronger potion to level your nerves. Then imagine a bard playing in the corner or a troupe of artists walking through. Now just think of a window seat that is constructed like a tree, where you can read and drink your tea to your hearts content.At the heart of our vision is a place where community, creativity, and connection converge- an immersive space that goes beyond just food and drinks. We’re creating a sanctuary for dreamers, artists, and makers- a “third place” where everyone belongs. A third place is more than a café or bar or a restaurant; it’s a gathering spot that isn’t home and isn’t work, but is a place where people feel seen, inspired, and part of something greater. It’s where conversations flow, art comes to life, and ideas are sparked. Our mission is to cultivate this space, where creativity thrives, local talent is celebrated, and every corner invites connection.For over a decade, we’ve dreamed of bringing this vision to life. With years of experience in hospitality, live events, and community-building, we finally took the leap in January 2024 to make it real. Together, we’ve poured our hearts into creating a space that not only serves the community but uplifts it- a place where people can share a meal, enjoy live performances, and explore their creativity through art, workshops, and connection.Now, that dream has a home. We’ve officially secured a remarkable historical building in the heart of the North Hollywood Arts District- a space that feels like it was waiting for this very purpose. Its charm, size, and location make it the perfect foundation for our immersive, community-focused “third place.”This opportunity is as rare as it is meaningful: a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build something that truly belongs to the neighborhood. Since receiving the keys on March 20th, 2025, we’ve been deep cleaning, restoring, and preparing the space for design and decoration. There’s still a long road ahead, and we need community investment to open our doors.We’re ready to seize this moment- but we can’t do it alone. Together, we can transform this building into a thriving, inclusive haven where creativity and connection flourish.For a detailed look at our vision- from the building and design to the food, art, and long-term plans- please explore the pitch deck below. We’re thrilled to share it with you and invite you to help us make this dream come true.This is our story- and the beginning of something extraordinary. Will you join us in bringing it to life?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(*Most images are stock/concept images.

   - Hello Arul! Thank you so much for your question. Here’s a quick breakdown of how your investment works: We’re offering a 1.65x payback (for the early bird terms) with a 7% revenue share.

There’s no fixed timeline — the faster our revenue grows, the quicker you get paid back. For example, if we earn $500,000 in a year, $35,000 (7%) would be shared across in...

## Q&A
- Q: Hey team, Thanks a lot for your response and congratulations on getting the space. All the very best for the rest of this round. Just a small suggestion, as an investor most of the folks on this platform are looking for home run projects and not a 1.65X on their investment with an unsure timeline. In case you change your mind and doing an equity round, I would be happy to contribute. Thanks.

- Q: Good morning. I am very excited to see this beautiful place you are creating. I am interested in investing and have read the answers to questions I also had but I have a couple more. How often do investors get the payback? Quarterly? Annually? And is the start date when you officially open or is there time period of months or years until the business is in full swing before one could expect the payback to begin? Hi again! I located and read the contracts and they answered my questions above. Is there any way I can meet or speak to someone in person/facetime/call or email directly? Thank you very much.
